Pre-Screener Form



Apollo is on the at-risk list due to behavior concerns. Apollo in care has not been acclimating well to the shelter environment. Apollo has been uncomfortable with being leashed to be removed from his kennel. He has escalated to snapping at the leash when presented, dodging the leash, and can be difficult to remove from the kennel at times. Apollo is accepting of treats, so handlers are using treats as an incentive to help lure him to the front of the kennel and with the leashing process. Apollo when outside is aloof with staff, flinching when being pet and panting heavily. Medically, Apollo was diagnosed with CIRDC.

Apollo was surrendered to the care center because his previous owners developed allergies. In his former home, he knew commands like sit, stay, "mine" (drop it), and "no" (leave it). Apollo loves playing outside, especially chasing balls. However, he hasn't adjusted well to the care center environment, showing high levels of stress. This stress has made it challenging for staff to take him out for walks, as he tends to snap, growl, and bark when they try to leash him. Apollo is also touch-sensitive and uncomfortable with handling, so it's crucial to move slowly and be cautious when touching him, as we are unsure of all his sensitivities. Apollo is available for foster/adoption through one of our new hope partners.
